#with Irene Adler and her boytoy from Scandal - which is who Moore initially wanted to use instead of Mina

Been thinking about the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen again, and it's 4am where I am, so you all know what time it is:

Johnny's Random LXG Thought of the Indeterminate Timespan

It's notable that, of the main characters of the first few volumes of League, the character I hear the least complaints about is Nemo (discounting the issues with his daughter here - yes, Janni isn't a Hindi name as far as I can tell, yes, Alan Moore still has not encountered a woman character he can't insert a sexual assault storyline into, these are known.)

It's also notable that, at least going by Moore's own words in interviews and the like around League, Nemo is the character that Moore and O'Neill were most willing to combine their own creativity with the source material in regards to (which also gave us the single raddest thing in League, namely the Nautilus itself and also that time it fought a load of Tripods.)

It may be notable that in the superhero teamup that the first League volume was satirising, Nemo is clearly the Batman, but I do not have the coherence to conjugate that thought at this hour.

#as a study in contrasts consider how much Nemo's hatred for the British Empire informs his character arc especially in Volume 2 of League#and take into account that according to Moore that was a later addition after reading The Mysterious Island#and compare that to my private conviction that Mina's entire arc about Jonathan makes infinitely more sense if you replace them#with Irene Adler and her boytoy from Scandal - which is who Moore initially wanted to use instead of Mina (tags via @irregularjohnnywiggins)
